How Is Acne Treated?

Answer 1

Hi,
The acne is a curable the treatment is under.
Most acne can be treated effectively with two drugs, or at most three, at any one time. Failure to respond to a regimen within four to eight weeks should prompt a substantial change in drugs, not merely the addition of another product.

Tretinoin, isotretinoin, adapalene, and tazarotene are topical retinoids which, if applied daily, inhibit formation of comedones and usually clear even severe comedonal acne within a few months. Azelaic acid is a dicarboxylic acid with modest antibacterial and comedolytic effects. It is the least irritating preparation.
Usually, two drugs are prescribed an antibacterial and a comedolytic. Benzoyl peroxide 2.5-10% is extremely effective against this type of acnes. Topical erythromycin and clindamycin are available as alcoholic solutions, lotions, creams, and gels, all of which are about equally effective. A combination of clindamycin and benzoyl peroxide in gel form is superior to a topical antibiotic alone. Azelaic acid 20% cream is also an effective alternative. Failure to respond to topical treatment within four to eight weeks should automatically prompt a change in treatment. Other options for resistant P acnes include oral antibiotics and isotretinoin.

Solutions for acne that is resistant to treatment:

Investigate compliance
Increase frequency of topical treatment
Begin or increase oral antibiotic dosage
Search for hormonal derangement
Begin oral isotretinoin therapy

Oral treatment:

Acne that is resistant to topical treatment requires oral antibiotics. Many of the antibiotics useful in acne also have an anti-inflammatory activity, which is nearly as important as their effect on the P acnes itself. Oral erythromycin used to be a common treatment for acne, but the rise of resistance has greatly reduced its utility. It is necessary to begin the treatment with doxycycline or minocylcine. Acquired resistance to minocycline and doxycycline is less common than to erythromycin but is still a concern, and use of these drugs should be limited to those patients who truly need them. Patients are instructed to take the drug with food this minimises stomach complaints and maximises compliance. If minocycline or doxycycline cannot be used, alternatives include co-trimoxazole and ciprofloxacin. Risk of acquiring resistance to these drugs after long-term use has not been studied, but the use of these drugs should be minimised. In general, cephalosporins and penicillins are not very effective in treating acne. The increased cost of some of these newer drugs may make using isotretinoin an attractive option in the long-term treatment.

Hormonal treatment:

It is wrong to assume that any woman with acne have a hormonal derangement. In fact, androgen levels do not correlate with acne severity among people with acne. Acne resistant to treatment, especially in a woman with irregular menses, should be investigated. Measurements of total and free testosterone as well as dehydroepiandrosterone sulphate. If these levels are raised, four approaches may be taken: suppression with low dose oral corticosteroid, oral contraception, cyproterone acetate or spironolactone.

Isotretinoin revolutionised the treatment of severe acne. It is used in case of severe nodular acne, but it is commonly used for severe acne that is resistant to oral antibiotics as well. Patients should be monitored routinely.

El acné es algo tradicionalmente relacionado con la adolescencia, aunque no necesariamente. Se puede padecer de acné por muchas razones, desde un desequilibrio hormonal hasta una incorrecta aplicación de cosméticos por parte de la persona (que suelen empeorar usando MÁS cosméticos para ocultarlo).
Existen muchos medicamentos para curar el acné, pero siendo sinceros, lo que realmente hacen es combatir temporalmente los síntomas del acné, no la causa en sí, ni tampoco son una solución permanente, lo que nos obliga a estar adquiriéndolos una vez y otra.
